description Facial skin wounds are common problems seen and treated by emergency centers around the world. Among all wounds, cat and dog bites are frequently seen. Human bite injuries are both deceptive and difficult in their presentation and management. The injuries have a disfiguration effect with possible psychological impact on the patient. The aim of this paper is to compare experience with human bites of the face in our surgical unit, with other similar trials in term of reasons for the circumstances of injuries, age, and sex of the patients, site of injury, pan-time between consultation and treatment, incidence of infection and surgical management. Data in terms of age, gender distribution, circumstances of injury, location of injuries, evolution of surgical management and complications were recorded. We report here a series of 10 cases of human bite wounds to the face, admitted to our department, and treated with different reconstruction procedures.
